Winter- Collaboration With Joanna Daniel
Hi Winter, how we feel your icy touch!
The earth remains under your freezing clutch.
The trees stand huddled in the numbing cold.
And the sun has lost its bright sheen of gold.
From nowhere comes the song of any bird.
On slopes, one cannot sight the grazing herd.
Piles of snow lie heaped on the barren ground.
Whole of Earth lies in a sea of ice drowned!
Snow swirls down in flurries of soft whispers.
The winter wind wails, whistles and whimpers.
All creatures for warmer climes are yearning.
In our houses, fires are warmly burning.
Skiing and sledding and building snowmen,
Winter's time to become children again.
Thank you for reminding us with hue white,
Sometimes we too need, from work, a respite.
